with every end there is a new beginning, such is in life and death. there is no fear in the end. only oneness and a return. regardless of our choices during the coming years, and the outcomes that follow. there will be a time, eventually, where the universe as we know it will cease. what came before, or what comes after doesnt matter. what matters is the here, and now. and right now, i appreciate your kindness, much like a child appreciates the comfort and safety of a loving home. thank you for your practical, caring, and hopeful mindset! may your mind and heart ring well beyond their time. :D
